The Party's over...

Today was my daughter's birthday party. We had 10 kids (9 girls & 1 boy who is a good friend's son and a really good sport). So my fears of not having enough kids didn't come true (fortunately, my fears don't often come true). We played "Pin the backpack on Dora" and had a scavenger hunt which led the kids to the cake. I think everyone had fun and my daughter was thrilled with all the gifts (of course!) I made the cake and got great comments on it -WHEW! I started decorating it at 6:30 this morning so just in case it didn't work and it looked nothing like Dora I could run to the bakery for 'plan B'.

I am ready for a quiet night. We have some movies to watch (DVD's my husband bought with his Christmas gift cards) so we might do that. Although I would be happy to go to bed in a little while, or now! Even though it was a great day I am beat!! And Sunday's are always so busy. I am at church from 8:30 to about 11 or 11:30 then it is home to fix lunches and then hockey practice is at 4 - not alot of down time. But I am happy to report that there is no school on Monday! So we can get up leisurely and maybe go to the park. My daughter has her 6 year doctor appointment on Monday too, but not until 3pm.

Well, I am off for now. I hope to be able to post a little longer next time. We'll see...

But that doesn't mean that it's gift cards for everyone on your list. In fact, this is about some fun, thoughtful and quick gift ideas to help you avoid the gift card abyss.

I have opened a shop at Society 6. I am super excited to share some of these fun holiday items with you! There are pillows and prints and canvas and travel mugs. Even clocks! Head over and take a look. I'd love to hear your feedback too.

I'm also open to your ideas - I have a bunch swirling around in my head but I love to hear what other people think and would like to see. I can do custom items too. Or just switch out colors to match your decor.

These items make really fun and unique gifts. And did I mention the free shipping?

I've ordered a few things from Society 6 in the past and have been happy with the quality and I'm sure you will be too.
